How good was Tom Brady? How good was Cam Newton? How good were Rodgers and Brees and Stafford and Freeman? How bad was Roethlisberger? How good is it to have football again?

Do the Cardinals have an outside linebacker faster than Joey Porter? Does Seattle have a cornerback worth considering after Marcus Trufant? Did St. Louis find a single wide receiver worth starting this offseason? Are the 49ers in trouble if Frank Gore goes down?

This ESPN Insider column introduces Playmaker Score 2.0, a more accurate version of our system for projecting college wide receivers. The new Playmaker Score does more to account for players who go deep with a high yards per pass figure, and it adjusts based on the historical record of receivers coming out of each conference. The resulting system has A.J. Green as the top receiver in this year's draft, but wonders why Julio Jones had so few touchdowns at Alabama.

You have no idea how hard it was to resist making a Men Without Hats reference in that headline. Anyway, former Rams safety O.J. Atogwe has signed a five-year, $26 million deal with the Washington Redskins, while former Colts safety Bob Sanders has agreed to a one-year deal with the San Diego Chargers.
